physics question.. worth a medal!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

An engine absorbs 2150 J as heat from a hot reservoir and gives off 750 J as heat to a cold reservoir during each cycle. What is the efficiency of the engine?

OpenStudy (primeralph):

Output/Input * 100.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks! so it's 286.67?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@primeralph

OpenStudy (primeralph):

Efficiency can never be greater than 100.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh right so it's 34.88?

OpenStudy (primeralph):

Show how you got that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(750\div2150)\times100\]

OpenStudy (primeralph):

Yeah.

thanks!
